Il est défendu de tuer; tout meurtrier est puni, à moins
qu’il n’ait tué en grande compagnie, et au son des trompettes.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

François-​Marie Arouet (1694 – 1778), pen name Voltaire, “Rights” (1771).
